He&rsquo;s our CEO and Co-founder. ThinkData Works was born out of his success spearheading the global open data movement during his political career at the Government of Canada. &nbsp;He&rsquo;s results driven and results-oriented which is how he&rsquo;s single-handedly built over $3M in revenues driven through enterprise licensing with customers historically impossible to sell into as a startup.</p> <p>He wants anyone joining ThinkData to understand that the atmosphere and demeanour are more professional than you might find at the average tech startup; they still know how to have fun and do so quite frequently, but business come first. He&rsquo;s learned a lot since starting his company, mostly that challenging his engineers to rock climbing route races is a fool&rsquo;s errand. But he does know how to successfully grow and scale a company - he learned that from his father, the old school way.</p>
